custom template for a single page

[mattmon]

I am trying to include a google map with polygon overlays via their
javascript api on a single page named 'test'

rake refinery:override view=pages/* created home & show.html.erb - I
can make the modifications to show, but they appear on all pages.

I have created a page in the admin UI named 'test' then created app/
views/pages/test.html.erb - though nothing seems to happen.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to create a conditional block that matches the title of your page and insert it into the show.html.erb

Example:

<% if @page[:title]=="Page Title" %>

...html goes here..

<%end%>

If you want to create custom templates, you need to first route to them.
In config/routes.rb add a route

match 'test', :to => 'pages#test'

Then your controller is allowed to respond using pages controller's test action so next override pages controller

rake refinery:override controller=pages

Now, add this to it:

def test
@page = Page.find('test')
end

Cheers,

So, lets say I want to create the following pages: Home, About,
Services, and Contact. If I've overridden 'pages/home' and 'pages/
home', do I follow your procedure (below) for the other pages. Or, do
I create a conditional in 'pages/show' to test what the page title is
and serve content based on that? I guess I'm a little lost in the
workflow after you've customized your home and show pages.

Home is the only custom page in the pages engine, because most clients want a differently styled homepage but for all of their other pages to look the same as eachother so we just have pages/home and pages/show does the rest.

If you want more pages to look different you'll have to add routes for them and write custom functionality

Okay, I think I understand -- thanks for clearning that up.

I've been taking a look at MoreTea's custom layouts fork, is it
deprecated? or what? I'd love to contribute to it.

[Philip Arndt]

It's not deprecated, it's just out of date with the current changes. I'd love to see support for it in maybe 1.1, it's a commonly requested feature.
Perhaps you could fork it and merge it with the current master and work from there.

I finally got some time to work on this, and I can't seem to find
MoreTea's Layout Engine? Did he removed it? I wanted to fork it :(
